Thomas R. Fulford

I'll research this attorney's professional background before drafting.

Let me dig deeper into his professional background and the tracked cases.

Let me look for a current bio page and bar/education details.

Thomas R. Fulford — Patent Litigation Practice Summary

Specialty / focus areas. Fulford's tracked patent work centers on software and computer-implemented technology. The largest cluster of his appearances arises from the long-running EagleView v. Xactware/Verisk disputes over software for generating rooftop measurements and roof-estimate reports from aerial imagery (asserted patents included U.S. Patent Nos. 8,078,436; 8,170,840; 9,129,376; 8,825,454; and 8,818,770). Web-searchable dockets also place him on computer-software/architecture matters, including Singular Computing LLC v. Google LLC (D. Mass., patented computer architecture) and Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Apple Inc. (N.D. Cal., 2019). The case list does not show pharma, mechanical, or standard-essential Wi-Fi work.

Side preference. He is not a single-side specialist — the tracked data shows 3 defendant-side and 2 plaintiff-side appearances. Notably, the caption orientation is inconsistent across the EagleView/Xactware family, and his actual alignment is clearer from the court filings: on the main EagleView infringement action he appeared as counsel for defendants Xactware Solutions and Verisk Analytics (McCarter & English team, Boston office) through trial and post-trial. He has also appeared repeatedly for plaintiff patent-holders, including NPE/PAE-side plaintiffs: Uniloc USA/Luxembourg/2017 (N.D. Cal., 2020), Intellectual Ventures I & II (W.D. Tex. before Judge Albright, 2021), and Singular Computing against Google (D. Mass., 2021). Net: he works both operating-company defense and patent-holder/NPE enforcement.

Firm context and notable cases. His tracked appearances are all at McCarter & English (Boston, 265 Franklin Street), where he was part of the defense team in EagleView Technologies, Inc. v. Xactware Solutions, Inc. (D.N.J., No. 1:15-cv-07025). That case produced a notable result — an adverse one for his client: a September 2019 jury verdict finding willful infringement of five EagleView patents, $125 million in lost profits, an invalidity defense rejected, denial of the defendants' JMOL/new-trial motion, a permanent injunction against the infringing products, and a later trebling of damages. Court filings in Singular Computing v. Google (D. Mass.) identify him with Prince Lobel Tye LLP (Boston) in 2021–22, from which he withdrew in November 2022. Any other prior firm history is not well sourced from the material reviewed.

PTAB / IPR experience. I found no well-sourced evidence that Thomas R. Fulford regularly appears in AIA trial proceedings; the tracked case list contains no PTAB matters. (Search results referencing "Fulford" in IPRs were a prior-art patent reference and a similarly named attorney, Thomas F. Foley, not this attorney — a name to disambiguate.)

Bar / education. Admitted in Massachusetts (BBO No. 686160, per court filings). Education and other bar admissions were not reliably sourced and are omitted rather than estimated.

Note: the underlying structured data covers only five tracked appearances, all within the EagleView/Xactware caption family at McCarter & English; the broader litigation history above comes from dockets and court opinions and should be independently confirmed before use.
